Be Audacious, Be Bold

My sister Wai Shan and I teamed up to do a photoshoot for her friend, Jolynn's new boutique - Audacious Wear. Yay this is the first time the #yongdubu team is out rocking together professionally, ahem.

I was really surprised when Wai Shan was asked to be the model for their clothing. Okay in some ways I wasn't surprised at all. My sister is known among her peers for her beauty, though we're in denial because we see her slacking around the house everyday in her sloppiest look. It's pretty unbelievable to see her this gorgeous when I was filtering the photos. Is this my sister who makes weird noise and sings weird lyrics? There's hardly any angle that she looks ugly in. I mean, mum and dad, how come I didn't get those genes......?

Talking about the brand - Audacious Wear, their founder, Jolynn is only 20 years old, she used to work in a famous boutique, gained some experience and now decided to start her own business.

20 years old, doing her degree while also starting her own business - what am I doing with my life?

We took all the photos in Empire Damansara. If you've been there you'd know that it's more like an open space with beautiful-looking shops and cafes, which is awesome for a photoshoot but not so awesome because of the heat. The sun was glaring and the weather was too hot, we barely had time to even discuss about the style and also, handle the curios gaze of the onlookers.

Wai Shan is obviously tall and pretty, Jolynn looks like a cool Korean girl with her bright-coloured hair. Wai Shan can put on any outfit and look divine, Jolynn has a great figure and posture. When the two gorgeous girls were standing side by side twirling their dresses around, you can imagine the amount of attention we attracted from the onlookers...

Nevertheless we completed the project. They did a fantastic job and I couldn't be more proud of the outcome. There're so many good shots! Here are some of my favourite looks.

I like that all her pieces are unique and look effortlessly cool. Obviously and clearly, she knows what she's doing. 20 years old, doing her degree while also starting her own business - this is quite inspiring.

Just a note to you and myself:

If you've always wanted to do something, just start, whatever small step it is, the next step can only begin when you have taken the first. Be audacious, be bold. Good luck.
